The Nevada Lottery Bill.

Carson, March 7th-Governor Stevenson
is getting all the legal advice obtainable on
the lottery bill. He has as yet given no one
any intimation as to how he will act, but it
is generally understood that he fears the
constitutionality OF the clause which pro-
vides that the corporation will not come
into existence until after the constitutional
amendment is adopted. The leading law
yers here consider it perfectly constitu-
tional. Judge Messick, of San Francisco,
has been asked to write an opinion.

The wire nail trade is rushing into
prominence as a consumer of wire and
wire rods. 1t was recently stated on good
authority, that in 1856 the output of iron
nails was 600 coo kegs, against 100000 kegs
in 1885. and that it is expected that fully
l 100000 kegs will be reached in 1887. If
this should be realized, the call for raw
material from this source alone would not
be far from so coo TONS Wood and Iron.

Mrs A. NJ Dauphin, of 1889 Ridge Avenue,
Philadelphia has done a great deal to make
known to ladies there the great value of Mrs.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, as a cure for
their troubles and diseases She writes as fol-
lows: Young lady of this city, while bath
ing some years ago, was thrown violently against
the line, and the injuries received resulted in
an ovarian tumor, which grew and enlarged
until death seemed certain. Her physician finally
advised her to try Mrs Pinkham's Compound.
She did so, and in a short time the tumor was
dissolved, and she is nolo an perfect heath.

A Constant Study of a Noted Woman's Lite.
Mrs Lydia e Pinkham, for years, made the
diseases and weaknesses of her sex a constant
study, and as a result of it was the famous
Vegetable Compound" Her knowledge
equaled that OF any first-class physician, and
therefore the remedy can be taken with perfect
confidence. The subjects of treatment are so
delicate that it is hard to be understood with
out trespassing on the grounds of what may
seem improper language; yet, 1t is well-known
fact that not one woman in ten is free from pain
and troubles, therefore there is no good reason
why they should not have the means placed
before them of saving themselves all. if not the
greater part of the periodic and other suffering.
The medicine is exclusively for good purposes.

Cheap and rapid transportation is of the ut
most importance to those who are both producers
and consumers. 1t eheapens all that he buys
and enhances the price of all he produces. The
"LANGFORD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated in this respect. Itisbetween two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Josquin
points to the Golden Gate. This gives the cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance

ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised, at highly
remunerative prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs, Prunes,

sharply to task for it, and said: "No

college will ever carve it elsewhere to
any purpose. You will not find DR..
Hickok's name or Mr.. Stewards cut

They had something better to do when
they were students" We never see
this mild vandalism without thinking
of the professors words. But let us

AT the left of the altar stands statue
of the Virgin presented by Plus x. 1t
is surrounded by gas-jets which are
kept burning during service in blaze
of light. On holy days the entire altar
is brilliantly illuminated and the sight
is splendid. The Jesuit church, though
not so large, is richer in decoration.
Some of its frescoes are superb and its
pictures of great value. AS in the
French church, there are numerous
small affairs, all deliberately decorated,
and where service can be held for
small number of people. We say a
small number" but each of the side
affairs will accommodate more than the
average Protestant church. And these
churches seem to be filled-not once a
day only, but as often as there is serv-
ice. AT the vespers at half-past three
yesterday afternoon at the French
church it was not full indeed, but there
was great multitude of people. But
all these churches will be overshadowed
by and by by st. Peters. 1t is to be
an exact copy of st. Peters at Rome
and one-fourth the size. 1t was begun
in 1870 and will not be finished in
many years. Its dimensions are 1888 by
222 feet; its height to the top of the
cross is 25S feet. 1t has cost already half
million of dollars, and it is only
bare walls without and within. But
they are most imposing walls. To
stand under the dome and look up,
though one sees scaffolding far above
him, is very impressive. If st. Peters
is ever finished it will be the grandest
religious edifice on this continent
